SXSW Tuesday Morning 2: Cory and

SXSW Tuesday Morning 2: Cory and
Bloggers 03/13/2003 10:25 AM
Cory Doctorow is talking about the Hollywood Agenda. (His desktop wallpaper is Dr. Bonner's label, a psychotic babble of philosophy, scripture and self-improvement aphorisms.) Cory says: The role of technology is to create opportunities for the entertainment industry. The entetainment industry's role is to seek legislation that will close down those opportunities. From piano rolls to TV to Napster, that's been the story. Factoid: "If you were to tape digital movies and use Fedex to ship them to your friends, it would be about 100x less expensive than shipping them to your friend over the Net." Even at the fastest...

Cory speaking on Jan 28 in Novato 01/22/2004 02:46 AM
I'm giving a talk ("Copyright, the Web, and Innovation") for the North Bay Multimedia Association on Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2004 from 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM at the Marin Community Foundation in Novato, CA.

There's nothing new about a copyright crisis: the ability to automatically reproduce work has been contentious since the Gutenberg Bible -- and as recently as the mid-Eighties, when the Hollywood studios tried to outlaw the VCR, calling it "the Boston Strangler of the American film-industry."

Is it any wonder that the web, with its ability to move, organize and reproduce information without control or oversight, has precipitated another crisis? Course not.

What is a wonder is that any number of otherwise bright and well-meaning lawmakers, geeks and businesspeople are behaving as though the proper response to a collision between copyright and technology is limits on technology -- imagine if recorded music had been "limited" to ensure that it didn't disrupt the sheet-music business! (It almost was -- and recorded music was only rescued through a Hail Mary act of Congress that legitimized piano rolls in 1908)

Today, the notion that technology should "compromise" with rights-holders is a tremendous threat to the open Web. The recording industry is indiscriminately abusing copyright law to sue 70,000 American file-sharers into submission. The Hollywood companies are getting the FCC to regulate the basic components of the PC.

Cory speaking at MacHack Detroit, July
27-31 06/24/2005 06:29 PM
Cory Doctorow: I'm delivering a midnight keynote at this year's ADHOC conference (ADHOC is also known as "MacHack") in Detroit, July 27-31. Hope to see you there!

The Advanced Developers Hands On Conference (ADHOC) is an annual event that provides a unique environment for computer programmers, engineers, students, and technology enthusiasts. At ADHOC they learn the cutting-edge technologies of the day not only from experts in classroom and conference sessions but also from each other in intense coding marathons. The conference is well rooted in the Macintosh platform - it is also called MacHack - but over the last few years the conference has grown to encompass other technologies, such as UNIX, open source, mobile devices, and more...

The showcase is an intensive, multi-day contest where you try to make something to impress everyone else at the conference. Ideally, you start it when you arrive, and you finish sometime before you go on stage to show it. Many of the coolest bits of software that came out for the Mac started in the Showcase. And, because everyone wants to see something cool, if you need the help from a programming expert who just happens to be at the show, you can ask them, and you'll learn what you need. You can learn more about the Mac OS in a very short amount of time just by trying to write a showcase entry.

Wireless Future conference 02/10/2004 02:47 AM
I'll be speaking March 13 at the Wireless Future conference in Austin, TX organized by Jon Lebkowsky and the IC2 Institute at the University of Texas. I'm really looking forward to this one. John has assembled a fabulous group of Supernova regulars discussing the disruptive potential of emerging wireless technologies, including Cory Doctorow, Joi Ito, Howard Rheingold, David Isenberg, Dave Sifry, Dewayne Hendricks, and David Weinberger. And to top it off, the event is collocated with South By Southwest Interactive, the way-cool tech conference offshoot of Austin's legendary music festival.

Register for Wireless Future ($225 now; $250 starting March 1) and you also get access to SXSWi. I hope to see some of you there.

Joi and Cory live in the future and have the cameras to prove it. Joi also had an amazing japanese cell phone that featured two cameras hidden inside it. He could switch between shooting from the back of it, to the front of it (taking a photo of yourself using it).

I wish I recorded some audio during lunch as there was an almost magical symphony of forks hitting plates that created a strange cacophony the speakers had to outdo.

Three Municipal Wireless Networks
Foreshadow Future 06/24/2004 06:11 PM
Bob Brewin dives into three cities that are deploying large-area Wi-Fi networks for public-safety-only and mixed-use purposes: Spokane has unwired 100 city blocks, Rio Rancho claims over a 100 square miles, and Cook County ultimately expects nearly 1,000 square miles of coverage for public safety in Chicago and surrounding areas. The movement shows that municipal Wi-Fi has moved from a curiosity explored without many concrete goals--let's bring more people into downtown and see what happens, for instance--into a critical part in managing emergency response for fire, police, and medical personnel. When major incidents hit, the critical question is how well these networks perform, especially compared to cellular, landline, and proprietary (and expensive) public-safety band equipment. Spokane and Rio Rancho will offer public access to the network, while Cook County is focusing purely on public safety. Cook County's routers can switch to cellular or satellite networks as needed....

Gilmore v. Ashcroft

Gilmore v. Ashcroft 09/15/2004 09:25 AM
John Gilmore's battle to force the government to explain the basis upon which it demands that airlines verify an ID before permitting someone on a plane got a small victory last week. The government had asked to file its brief, defending a rule that is itself secret, in secret. The 9th Circuit said no.

Appreciating Happy Gilmore 01/16/2004 10:59 AM
How can some people not appreciate the sheer comic brilliance of the excellent Adam Sandler film Happy Gilmore? I just happened to see it on TV last night (yeay for Tivo) and the program guide had two stars next to the movie title. Un-freaking-believable. Heck, even Amazon users have given it over 4 stars! Now that I think of it, I don't yet have it on DVD. It's probably time to rectify that oversight, wouldn't you say?...

Gilmore on Gmail's terms-of-service 04/09/2004 04:05 PM
John Gilmore has given me permission ot publish his very sharp analysis of Google's Gmail draft terms-of-service. As it stands, the ToS have some really objectionable elements. Google has a notation to the effect that this is a draft document and they are soliciting feedback on it to gmail-feedback@google.com. If these terms bother you, you could send polite feedback to Google about the parts that you find worrisome.

If they allege a "technical issue", including spam filtering, then they can access, read, preserve, and disclose anything in your mailbox. Since they probably do spam filtering for everybody (both for incoming and outgoing mail), then they have the right to read and disclose the contents of your email at any time.

Many spam-filtering services send copies of alleged spams to some central location. If they get N copies of similar messages, they declare it spam and publish the offending messages on the web. Google's right to send your spam to such services gives them the right to send ANY of your email to ANYONE -- for publication.

John Gilmore vs. Ashcroft begins today

John Gilmore vs. Ashcroft begins today 08/16/2004 02:15 PM
Bill sez: "On the 16th of August 2004, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals begins work on the Gilmore vs. Ashcroft case. At stake is nothing less than the right of Americans to travel freely in their own country -- and the exposure of 'secret law' for what it is: an abomination.

"The man who is fighting the good fight is named John Gilmore. John made his fortune as a programmer and entrepreneur in the software industry. Whereas most people in his position would have moved to a tropical island and lived a life of luxury, John chose to use his wealth to protect and defend the US Constitution.

"On the 4th of July 2002, John Gilmore, American citizen, decided to take a trip from one part of the United States of America to another. At the airport, he was told he had to produce his ID if he wanted to travel. He asked to see the law demanding he show his 'papers' and was told after a time that the law was secret and no, he wouldn't be allowed to read it.

"He hasn't flown in his own country since."

Another program which depends on showing ID is the Watch List and No-Fly List.  Airlines are issued these lists by the federal government and are required to request ID from their passengers in order to check them against the lists.  This has resulted in countless citizens with names similar to bad people being harrassed, arrested, or prevented from travelling by air—including every person named 'David Nelson'.

Gilmore v. Ashcroft "Papers Please" case
update

Gilmore v. Ashcroft "Papers Please" case
update 09/07/2004 11:47 PM
Xeni Jardin: Bill Scannell says,

Lawyers for John Gilmore filed their opposition to a Department of Justice attempt to file a secret brief in a case that involves secret law. The case, Gilmore vs. Ashcroft, is now before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. DOJ filed a motion last Friday asking the Court's permission to file their arguments in secret, allowing only the judges to read their full brief.

DOJ is trying to distract the Court and the public from the real issue in the case, which is whether or not American citizens can travel in their own country without official government paperwork. Their method of distraction: secret law.

In a sharply-worded objection to the government's motion, Gilmore's lawyers stated that the government's "extreme cry for secrecy, preventing even plaintiff's counsel from being privy to their legal arguments because plaintiff's counsel does not meet defendants self defined 'covered persons who have a need to know' criteria, is disturbing and illustrates the dangers of secret law."

DOJ motion and Mr. Gilmore's opposition: Link. Previous BoingBoing posts on this story include: Reason Magazine on Gilmore v. Ashcroft; and Gilmore v. Ashcroft begins today

(Gilmore vs. Ashcroft) 9th Circuit to
DOJ: No Secret Justice

(Gilmore vs. Ashcroft) 9th Circuit to
DOJ: No Secret Justice 09/13/2004 08:10 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Score one for John Gilmore, who is suing the Justice Department because it has secret laws requiring people to show ID when flying on a commercial domestic plane. Ashcroft tried to file a secret brief to keep the secret law a secret, but the court said no secrets allowed.

Bill sez: "The 9th Circuit US Court of Appeals rejected a Department of Justice attempt to file a secret brief in Gilmore vs. Ashcroft, a case that involves secret law.

"In a one page order, the Court denied DOJ's motion asking the Court's permission to file their arguments in secret, allowing only the judges to read their full brief. A DOJ motion to suspend the briefing schedule was similarly denied." Link (Here are previous BB posts on the subject)
